Silas
Claims to have sailed every ocean. Gets seasick in baths.
Courier — Always on the move. Knows every back door.
In their own words
“I've weathered worse storms than this.”
“Arr. Sorry. Habit.”
“The sea teaches you patience. And swearing.”
“I've weathered worse squalls round the Cape.”— in Victorian London, 1888
Characters’ asides never contain clues. In a case, only their statements count as evidence.

Track record
In the 9 cases old enough to have a published walkthrough, Silas turned out to be a criminal 3 times and innocent 6 times. Roughly what you would expect by chance: a past record is never evidence in Clues & Culprits. Today’s and yesterday’s cases are left out so nothing is spoiled.
